Credit where credit is due...............when I threw that in, I was imagining an old Bill Hicks rant where he was talking about Pro-Lifers.

He was jumping all over the stage taking the p*ss out of them saying something like "Ohh, aint life great, aint it great to be human, we are so neat!"

Very appropraite, as that is how I see the sad little f*ckers who consider America to the centre of the Universe and couldnt possibly consider another culture or state of being/mind outside their own.

Wait, what am I saying? America doesnt have any culture.............at best its manufactured, stolen or plain false.

(Sorry, in a bad/rant'ie type mood)

(Actually no...............Im not sorry..............cuz its true)

we have a manufactured culture because the legacy of our real history:
genocide, slavery, racism, greed and imperialism is too difficult for anyone to actually admit/face. Sure we've had great Americans and have done great things as a country, but this slapping ourselves on the back for things we had nothing to do with is ridiculous. None of us were garroting Germans at the battle of Verdun. Most likely we were watching sports bloopers then going to the Wendy's drivethru... big contributors...

and with that, I'll move my opinion over to Off Topic....

As always Pat.............a huge to you for being the TRUE American that you are..............true as in, you know the truth and have the stones to see it, admit, accept it and move on to a more enlightened state of being.

Ps: Im eagerly awaiting the first =

Nice. Saved them the time to actually write that. That's what I call a good forum mate. Well done, Bigs.

Reminds me of the time I cut myself on a piece of glass in chemistry lab. My supervisor, who was straight from china, had no idea what I was talking about when I asked for "band-aids". Technically there's no such thing as an actual band-aid (it's a brand name). eventually I was able to get it across to him before I lost all my blood.

while we are completely off topic, if you ever run into someone from Wisconsin, ask them to say "band-aid". for some reason, they can't say it without putting an upwards inflection on the end of it. always sounds like a question - "band-aid?".
